On Thursday September 15, 2016, we held family activity to celebrate moon viewing (jugoya) and make rice dumplings (dango). Parent volunteers came to help prepare the rice dumpling dough in the morning. Students in mixed age groups from G1 to G6 made dango together, learned the meaning and history of harvest moon then sang “Jugoya Otsukisan” and “Usagi “ in their color families. This mixed grade activity gave the students an opportunity to practice caring and consideration for each other. The students also deepened their appreciation and understanding of traditional autumn event like moon viewing and dumpling making.
